Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a biocompatible material for reinforcing soft tissue, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a urethral sphincter reinforcing material for treating incontinence, for filling soft tissue voids or creating soft tissue blisters; for breast implants and for Biocompatible material for soft tissue augmentation in the treatment of unilateral vocal cord paralysis. The invention also relates to a gel carrier for the biocompatible composition. Background technique
[0002] In the practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery, many biocompatible materials have been proposed for use in augmenting soft tissues, examples of which are collagen, gel beads, natural or synthetic materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone rubber, etc. Polymer beads and various hydrogel polymers such as polyacrylonitrile-polyacrylamide hydrogels.
[0003] Typically, the biomaterial is injected via an injectable composition c...
